The
present and official name of the barrio is Balili. Its popular name is Tanabog.

According
to the early people who inhabited, this place had a difficulty naming this
place. They could not think of a good name at first to the place where they
were living. One of the inhabitants suggested that since the place is abundant
of morsico, which they call also balili, they just called it Balili. From that
time until now the name that derived from the balili plants remained the name
of the present barrio. The sitios included in the barrio are: Capao-an and
Seling.

forest of Tubig diao. During the Japanese day in this place, they capture a
